bringing a hedonistic and comfortable modern man to the rigors and spiritual strictness of eastern orthodoxy will be quite the battle 😂

Truly a worthy heir to the parents

Well, show her that she is just a reiteration of her parents' mindset

Big upboat

It's a step by step process, once you convince her of one thing, it will set off a domino effect and eventually she will begum

The modesty and rejection of modernity follows

I do know that

yeah

but -- figure this --

she's from germany, and has no possibility of coming in touch with church members

and she's pretty much surrounded with lgbt

anyone knows germany's in a bad relationship with the church

Lots of eastern european diaspora there.

The benefits of multiculturalism - communities that aren't stricken with the gay

funny how westerners tend to accuse eastern europe of overreligiosity and poverty, and yet the west is leading in depression, godlessness and overall unhappiness

Ah yes, eastern europe is the bastion of happiness and totally not degenerate as the american bible belt.

nobody held that

Different problems.

I wonder what the happiest place on earth is

Uh.

I knew this.

Iceland or something.

They use a lot of anti depressants

Is a Bangladeshi coal miner really *that* happy because we installed sewage in his village?

I consider Costa Rica as the happiest. They're very poor, but they are the safest central american country that their neighbours want to live in.

They've been in the top 5 I think.

Nordics really are the happiest countries

So this year number one was Finland.

But it isn't that high on this list.

Im amazed that Norge managed to dodge that list
